Goodmorning everyone, Today is finally the day! The first challenge from the Tiddly Inks challenge blog is now finally on the blog! We are going to start with a really easy challenge, so you don't have an excuse to not participate! :) And there will be one lucky person who will win a credit of 10 dollars for the soon to be opened Tiddly Inks store. Believe me, you will have a hard time to chose, because Christy has so many lovely images! This time the theme is Anything goes. So you can decide what you want to make yourself. I have decided to make a little gift set. It is a box and inside you find 3 little cards with envelopes. All the cards are 10 by 10 cm.

The image I used on my first card is Daisy huggabugg. I have already used the image a couple of times, but that is because she is such a cutie! I have colored the image with derwent pencils, I used blue chalks to color around the image. The eyes were colored with a black glaze pen. The image was cut out with my oval nesties. With a black fineliner I added the faux stitxhing. I have used a white gelpen to draw the little dots on the flower. This way it is a perfect match with my design paper. The sentiment is a stamp from Stamping bella from a Dutch sentiments set. It says Lots of love. I used a puncht for the 4 little white butterflies. I folded the flowers and applied the glue only in the middle so they stand up a bit on the card. I used a black fineliner for the antenna's and dotted trails.

I have used the image Happy bugg on my second card. This time I have cut the image out with my square nestabilities. I wanted to stamp the sentiment on the square but ofcourse it fell of my acrylic block and all that was left was a big ink stain. :( I was lucky because I could hide it with a big flower. I used retro punches to create the flower. In the middle of the flower I added a white hotfix stone. I made a couple of knots from black cord and attached them under the flower. The I decided to stamp the sentiment on a piece of paper and i punched it out with the Stampin Up word window punch. I have chosen for a striped background paper for this card.

On my third card I have used Star bugg. This time I have cut the image out with the circle nestabilities. I doodled on the edge of the circle with my black fineliner and on top of that I attached a couple of little black hotfix stones. I added black glitter on all the stars of the image. For the the background I decided to use star paper. a perfect match for the image!

I made a little box that can hold the cards and envelopes. I used the pattern of te box from the Double dutch challenge . But I had to resize it so my cards and envelopes would fit in the box. I used a striped paper for the lid and for the box I used dotted paper. The image I used is Joy bugg. I have cut the image out with the circle nestabilties. I doodled on the edge of the circle with a black fineliner. The circle is attached to the box with foamtape. I didn't put the foamtape on the top of the circle, so that way the lid of the box can slide behind the image when you close it. On the lid of the bix I placed a couple of punched flowers . In the middle I added a pink hotfix stone and I also added a green branch that was punched with the floral punches from Nellie Snellen.
